Andriana (.Andriana (Gluttony Is The New Black): Everything is great. My faves are the Shrimp Cocktail, Ahi Tartare, Lobster Roll, Roasted Halibut and Crab Louie. Incredibly fresh and just lightly dressed to bring out the natural flavors. Yum!

ShawShaw: Lobster roll is fresh but rather puny & overdressed with bits o' shell and cartilage sloppily tossed in. But you'll order it anyway 'cos you're a lobster fiend! Fries are good with their lemon aioli

Josh W.Josh W: Amazing lobster roll that's full of flavor yet not too heavy. Pair it with a glass of house Chardonnay.
